Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix

Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix was a legion of the Roman Army that was founded in 100 AD by Trajan during his campaigns in Dacia. It was named for Trajan (Marcus Ulpius Traianus) and for its many victories, and parts of the legion took part in Trajan's Parthian wars. In 122, they were moved to Colonia Ulpia Traiana in Germania Inferior (Xanten, Germany), where they remained for the following centuries. The collapse of the Rhine frontier from 408-410 marked the legion's end.
